>went from the mindset "i wanna rule" to "i wanna serve" helping people out.
>spend time mostly reading and lifting weights
Making it means nothing if you give it right back to the jews for stupid shiny things. Making it is a mindset and financial freedom is just a factor in it but mostly making it for me was letting go of the ego i built from school, detaching myself from the superficial fake world around me which brought me nothing but negativity, pressure, anxiety and depression trying to compete with normalfags who has the best life instead of just minding my own business and not giving a single fuck about society, instagram and anyones opinion anymore. 4chan helped me alot in that regard or maybe i just grew up at 23

School didn't build up my ego, it tore it down over and over and over again despite successes. All the hard times made me stronger, and I'm still facing hard times now. I don't make trades because I want some flashy things to feel like I "made it". I want money so other people outside of my family see me as being worth anything. 4chan simply gave me a way to anonymously vent and expose myself to many different ideas.

This is true. That's why I know homosexuality is a "choice". There is no "gay" allele, it's not genetic. This website made me gay - moreover eventually made me actually transgender - and also gave me impulsive impure thoughts about children, and I was able to completely rearrange my psychology through willpower and understanding the human mind (which /x/ is 1% responsible for so thanks schizos) to restore my brain to a healthy state, free from unnatural desires, and also I am now completely straight man.

I came here a lost edgy sexually confused atheist anarchist as a teen but I found my way through desensitization and exposure all free speech and thought and the study of the human mind, religion, the occult, and philosophy, much of which was discussed with other people over time who polished off the edges of my thinking. I have literally learned the power of magic and hypnosis. I can clearly see God and the purpose of life. I have no depression. I have direction, my psychology is tempered against the warfare the world wages against me. I know who I am, and I realize what others around me are, and I understand what are and aren't laws of the universe. There was nobody to explain all these things like newfags don't even realize they are lucky for. You come here you get "redpilled" on porn or gender politics or whatever the fuck, I had to literally brainwash myself without knowing it into becoming a tranny and a pedo and then figure out how to unbrainwash myself with no advice or direction because academia tells you that's "impossible".

It doesn't feel like "enlightenment" or anything it actually feels like I got fucking ripped off, because this is what it was always supposed to be before they buried us in what they call culture. It took me this long just to climb my way out and see and think clearly; it shouldn't be this way. Everyone around me doesn't even realize their predicament. So pay attention to unpopular opinions.

How hard is it to accept there's both a genetic and an environmental component? Genes set the needle, environment nudges it further, and then finally the individual can waggle the needle a bit further in whatever direction.

All you have to do is look at twin studies, or there was that very prominently advertised study from a few weeks ago about genetic componentry of homosexuality. There's no gay 'gene' but there are thousands of genetic contributors which in sum have some statistically significant effect on sexuality. Plus other possibly hormonal contributors like second sons being more likely to be gay, etc. There is very clearly a biological basis for sexual disposition. It's not the whole picture, but it's part of it.

This is not scientific thinking. That's not how the scientific method works. This is simply not science. This is "I don't have an explaination for my postulated and preferred hypothesis and cannot confront the alternatives so I am going to extrapolate data endlessly until I can make it fit into a possibly feasible theory that supports my stance due to being so obtuse that it creates reasonable doubt through abstraction and relativity".

This is the opposite of science. It is dogma. It is political bookending of what you want to be "scienfic". Hey we can't prove it yet but just give us another 40 years and millions of dollars worth of research and we will find a better way to prove our theory we have been trying to prove for decades but have been yet unable to, I swear!

Academia wants or even NEEDS to believe that an aspect of human behaviour and psychology such as sexuality cannot be controlled or directed by oneself because of the implication and consequences. Just think about what would happen if every influential academic came out an announced they believed "being gay" to be a "choice" and in no way genetic. Imagine what that does to society right now. Chaos. That's why it is wrongthink that cannot be allowed to be even discussed.

But I have been watching this unfold for well over 20 fucking years and I have lived it and by God the time has come to put my fucking foot down, I will not tolerate this anymore. I have done my research for decades and experienced this myself personally. This shit is not real. It is a COPE because people cannot take fucking responsibilty.

Being gay is purely a choice in so far as it is generally the product of a series of very bad decisions by the affected individual and possibly their parents.
That said, it is very easy to imagine why there might be at least some minor genetic component if for no other reason than hormone level abnormalities and certain patterns of brain development are known to correlate with homosexuality.

I also got alot more privacy based and made any social media I have alot more locked down and rarely post anything on it anymore. I also wiped as many pics as possible of me from existance online and almost rarely take pics of me for online and give people shit if they take pics of me to delete it. I also trust females alot less and focus on them alot less and more on money and investments now and have a much shorter fuse for female bullshit and shit testing. I also game a bit less and dont play video games for hours on end since I usually am reading something crypto and investing related instead lately.

[Anonymous No.15707841]

i guess i'm not really sure yet. I've been on 4chan since senior year of high school (2015), and followed the typical trajectory of looking for edgy shit on /b/, then got redpilled on /pol/ and then moved on to interest boards. Maybe when i'm a bit older I will be able to analyze how it impacted my personal development, but for now all I can say is that 4chan has certainly had a major influence on me, and overall it's been a good thing. I've learned to think for myself, had many, many laughs, chatted with interesting anons the world over, and gained new interests and knowledge.

[Anonymous No.15707847]

I've only been on 4chan for 8ish years. Started out looking at weird shit on /b/ in middleschool or something. In my teens I found /k/, /k/ reignited my love for firearms. I would argue about bullshit on /pol/. Then as I grew to know my awkwardness I found the shithole known as /r9k/. Then I became a /v/irgin, worrying about gamergate and other manufactured bullshit. Fucked around on other boards like /his/ and /wsg/. Then I really fell into a pit of degeneracy, jacking off to traps, looking at fluffy torture porn daily on /b/, dropped out of school, started working manual labor, found /fit/ and started worrying what it means to be a man. Found /lit/ and started worrying about how limited my mind is. Eventually I found myself here, wanting to learn how to buy stock, blah blah blah, bought chainlink, yadda yadda reading about ISO20022 at 3 am, you know how it goes.
One thing this board has done for me is give me hope, as lame as that sounds. I can't imagine life without an idea that one day I can be free. It might never happen, but I can dream about it, and that comforts me.

Based. The best way i can describe 4chans influence on me is that it taught me to think for myself and take responsibility for my own actions. Everywhere we look these days were surrounded by people telling us what to think and how to live. It comes in the form of television, social media, celebrities, teachers, politicians, reddit upvotes, coworkers. On 4chan youre on your own. There is no authority figure to tell you what to think or what to do. Youre ultimately responsible for making your own judgements here. Theres an infinite amount of information, but its up to you to decide what information is good and whats bad. It forced me to find myself, to find values, to find out what was important to me and what i wanted out of life. Without being thrown into the 4chan fire, i dont know that i ever wouldve escaped the marxist pushed mindset of demoralization that so many people suffer from. And i couldnt have done any of that without the constant shitposts, insults, and ridicule from all of you glorious anonymous faggots. Love you guys. Were all gonna make it.

I don't care what people think anymore.
I also have a different perspective on people in general.
After having been unplugged from mainstream society for so long, it's pretty surreal to look at normal people from an outside perspective and see how much they act out like characters from television shows and movies. As if they are just responding to certain stimuli the way they were programmed to.
I unironically believe that the vast majority of "people" aren't even real. I have seen and heard way too many things that seem to hint at this. It really freaks me out just thinking about it. I know it can't be true, but it still seems totally logical, considering the state of society.

It taught me my troubled mind at youth (I'm 45 which should only be allowed to be a caliber I think in nights like these) were not unique, as I kissed a girl (rather awkwardly and comically, since I had NO idea how to - learned fast, she was great) at 21 and only had physical interaction with other two after her (three years gf).
Saw anons at 30+ with the same problem (well, WORSE) and realised here
others shared my pain. Unfortunately, these anons are not in a IA (Incels Anonymous) local group but giant geographical leaps apart.

It's internationally known for its beautiful girls. None cared much about me. My looks were alright, some conpared me to Lennon and I might resemble the actor of The Pianist, say others. But I cared about /x/ related stuff since I was nine and not much else,so I was always "that guy" and today have literally no one to call except family, which would tie me to a rubber room if they could.
4chan helped me to cope with not only past but present and enhanced my view of things worldwide in ways school and TV could only shred - I, naturally, haven't watched TV in ten years, saving when someone turns it on somewhere I happen to be, much to my regret). Here I saw horrors untold that the media and academia (which I did attend but left right at the end when all I had to deliver was my monograph - on Philosophy nonetheless) supress and switch for the notorious garbage. I bought one tenth of a Bitcoin which are down to two Litecoins now - yes, fuckedup big time - thanks to /biz/ and will put any money I may have into crypto if possible. Without this place I wouldn't know, as you young say. My mind has still rapport with this trapped - pun - generation for my interests and yours are pretty much the same, saving for the fact I'm almost too old to dream.

That bondage and gangbangs aren't dirty, violent, or degrading, but perfectly fine acts as long as your girlfriend is a cute and slutty princess like pic-related and these are her unspoken secret fantasies. It's the mindset that counts. As long as you mix it with enough caressing tenderness and base it primarily on love instead of pure lust... As long as there are hearts in her eyes instead of tears and she can get emotionally dissolved in the passionate act...

>>15707906
Real girls? Lolis with unrealistic body-type (since you posted an anime picture)? Or 2d in general? Liking 2d teens (or maybe 2d in general) isn't really pedophilic. There's no rule saying that you aren't allowed to be attracted to (sexy)cute things. Or that sexuality always has to be uncute, violent and involve harmful rape and murder. I am sure there are many cute species in this universe that maintain their cuteness even as adults. Only because human roasties age like milk and fascist feminists want to push the "uncute, lip-biting and stronk women with tattoos and buzzcuts are sexy" narrative... doesn't mean you have to subscribe to it. Surely we have at least this little personal freedom.

Though desu, being here hasn't changed me much at all. And I'm not even sure I really belong here (mostly spending time waiting for link to moon and shitposting). With me also thinking that I learned more about human idiocy browsing Reddit, being repulsed, ending up here, still being repulsed, but less so than on Reddit. Reddit is a little bit like people watching reality-tv and ironically idealizing those presented therein, when it was once supposed to allow the average Joe to feel good about himself. But somehow he did start idealizing reality-tv. Whereas 4chan are the people who shitpost ironically, then presented on reality-tv unironically, imitated by Redditors who think said reality-tv shitposting amiable. I like 4chan mostly because it's not a retarded echo-chamber... Even if you are all degenerates.

I owe much to /pol/ and /biz/, even if both of them have grown more rotten and blackpilled these past 2 years.
Have any of you noticed how /pol/ culture has gradually bled into the framework of society? As recent as 2015, the things I see in everyday life nowadays - from normies of all people - would've been unfathomable. More and more redpills are finding their way into the water supply. More and more textbook NPCs suddenly thinking for themselves. Not nearly enough, but it gives me some hope for the future.
Ideally, the same thing will happen with crypto as banks and governments get more desperate and oppressive. I'd like to think we're still early - fighting off the fraud, deception and subterfuge and settling the frontier so that everyone else may one day have a safe refuge from fiat slavery

I honestly have absolutely no clue. I don't even know how long it's been. I think I began coming here when I was 13 and now I'm 22.
I don't know if 4chan changed me or if I was drawn here by my predispositions to be like this.
Playing RuneScape religiously from 7 until 18 and using this website as my prime source of interaction with strangers (nowadays just interaction with others as such) for 9 years has obviously set me along some certain paths and given me some certain habits.
I don't think they're particularly bad.
I've become very efficient and cold, at the cost of not being able to take anything in the entirety of Being wholly seriously. Everything is subject to mockery, even (or perhaps especially) that mocking instinct itself. It goes infinitely down (if I look).

I do wish I could sincerely believe, with power of heart, what I've come to rationally convince myself of (a search for knowledge set in its course by this website).

I've always thought that having a social life and being the top of the world was the most important thing of all. But after experiencing so many downturns and reading about them here and everywhere else on 4chan. It made me really reflect what was going on with my life. I now life a very solitude life of internet browsing. Its very lonely at times. But I do feel like I have a much stronger connection here than anyone else I've met in real life.
